refreshing sleep. In other words, lower the static charge and sleep quality goes up. This
The human body is one big electric field, continually recharging its electrons through
contacting or rubbing against other materials. Discharge comes into play when one element
moves away from the other. The discharge is usually earthed straight away, but can also occur
through ionisation – discharge through the air. Just think of the crackling and sparks that
appear when you slip off your sweater in the dark. This phenomenon is called the corona. The
more electrons there are, the bigger the charge, and the human body can store up to 30,000
volts! Not surprisingly, these high voltages have a negative effect on our sleep. We feel
nervous, agitated – we are literally experiencing a feeling of tension. So it is important for the
body to get rid of this tension and drop to the lowest possible voltage. And that is exactly how
Intense works.
In the course of the night, the body is in constant contact with various materials, such as
pajamas, sheets, mattress etc. Both the body and these materials are continually recharged
with static electricity – up to 30,000 volts! If we want a truly peaceful sleep, it is clear that this
tension needs to be discharged and the voltage lowered - without earthing. Intense offers a
solution to this problem. The Intense mattress uses ultra-fine, multi-filament carbon fibre
thread. Each filament contains a conductive trilobal core, wrapped in a protective nylon
envelope. The carbon filament captures the electrons in the surrounding material and releases
them into the air at low voltage (from 4,000 volts). So the tension literally flows from the body,
allowing for deeper – and more relaxing - sleep.
The Amicor Anti-Allergen Cover
Amicor is a revolutionary, smart fibre that appeals to the modern consumer with an active
lifestyle. It was developed by Acordis after the company's extensive research highlighted a
demand for increased levels of freshness and comfort in textiles. The result is a fibre with a
locked in safe and durable additive that can act against allergens (a known cause of asthma)
and bacteria (a cause of odor). Amicor Pure is a speciality blend of anti-bacterial and anti-
fungal fibres that can prevent house dust mites and microbes in bedding and household textiles
Amicor's anti-microbial strength is not a fragile, surface treatment. It is designed to last. The
organic additive is built into the fibre, not just added to the surface, so Amicor fibres do not
easily lose their magic. In fact, even after 200 washes they are still effective. Amicor is the first
in a series of anti-microbial and anti-fungal performance fibres. It has a built-in organic,
chemical additive called Triclosan, which has been independently proven to be effective
against bacteria and safely used in mouthwashes and toothpastes for many years. This
provides locked-in freshness which means the fibre remains effective for up to 200 washes.
Amicor Pure was developed to prevent the problem of the common dust mite that causes 70%
of asthma in the home. Used in bedding, it effectively removes the fungi and bacteria that the
dust mite feeds on and is the gentlest and most thorough approach to preventing the problem
at source.
